THE two ORPHANS"
Farewell Tour of Miss Kate Claxton,
the Original Louise"

Farewell Tour of Miss Kate Claxton,
the Original Louise"
Miss Kate Claxton, the original
Louise" in "The Two Orphans" will
appear at the Theatre Tuesday night in
her famous impersonation of the unfortu-
nate blind girl. The touching pathos and
the ragged, forlorn misery OF the charac-
ter are little short OF the sublime. Neither
Miss ClaXton nor the play need an intro
duction to the public. The New York
World says that "the oldest plsYgoers
who witness the play, and live and weep
with "Louise" Miss Claxton), are
wrought up to degree OF excitement
almost painful. The audience waits with
anxious interest the elimination of the
story. The play Is the best in construc-
ton which has been put upon the stage
within the memory OF the oldest patrons
of tue drama"
In the company are Sara Jewett and
Charles Stevenson, both well known
names. In the company also ia Miss
Belle Abel, who was with the Fords
three years ago. Miss Claxton's support
is unusually good. On Wednesday night
she will appear in "Called Back" an eX.
cellent and effective play, dramatized
from Hugh Conway's novel.
On Jan. 10 Miss Louise Balfe will plav
a return engagement. Her "Darmar''
will be remem bered as a strong artistic
performance. She has the figure, the
voice, the manner and the intelligence OF
a superior actress.

The North Louisiana Fair Association
in view of encouraging the planters the
coming season, offers the following pre-
miums: For best acre OF corn, cotton, oats
and sweet potatoes, $40; for second best
$50; and third best $40,
We presume the above refers to the
average Of the whole crop and not to a
single acre.
Allays have been laid out on the Court
House ground, from the Main entrance
of the building leading to Main, and the
two side streets. Rows of china-trees
have been planted on each side Of the al
lays, Which is an OrnamOnt to the ground
and add much comfort to the atte ldents
of court. Now let the Police Jury fence

The elections Of the several Fire COM

After the parade each company repaired
to their respective hall and partOOk to a
sump.uOus banquet.
Shipments of produce continues fair,
and inward freights, apparently shows

A bill has been passed by the Texas

the futures carried on by the different

General F. T. Nichols.

A large number OF our exchanges are
putting away, and praising Gen. +. T.
Nichols, as the most available candi-
date for Governor in 1883. We have not
the least doubt that Gen. Nichols is the
most available man, and has a remarka-
bic standing record; but time has de-
mOnstrated that the record Of man has
not the least show before convention,
and it seems to us that it would be far
better, and wiser for the newspapers 10
puff a little less and go to work and or
ganize clubs in every parish, in order to
elect delegates who would support the
candidacy of Gen. Nichols before the
nominating convention, and not depend
on the good record of the gentleman, and
expect him to carry convention cOmpo-
sed of supporters and fayorites Of Cover
nor McEnery.
The influence of the ring is too strong
to expect delegation in favor OF Gener-
al Nichols, unless his supporters would
take the field and elect their own dele
gates, and it would perhaps be wise to
pledge these delegates, as the will of the
people is not consulted before conventions.
1t was rumOred not long ago, that Lieu
